Entirely context, a pub needs something with a bit of life to it, which is why I hate the slow blues tracks that pub groups always want to throw in. Unless it is a blues night or you are really exceptionally good, there isn't much scope for that in a pub.

I just want everything from one power supply - too many little leads and things around while gigging

Oh not the HX, the power supply!

Finally got round to changing my power supply (which didn't work with the HX) with one that did work. Now soak testing it to see how it works, there is no noise, its quite hot but don't know if that is a major issue

We did wannabe by spice girls. That one was fun but didn’t work with audiences. cant get you out of my head eh? Hmm

We do are you going my way, but we aren't a rock band. Crowd love it, I quite like it as the bass does something in the middle at least. Unlike sex on fire which I hate with a passion almost as much as my hatred for, 'get knocked down'. Unfortunately the crowd love both of those, so there isn't really much of an argument about it. There are a few slow blues one which we sadly can't drop. On the plus side at least it gives the crowd a chance to go to for a fosters and a beer. We do mustang sally, which is interesting as it is supposed to be one of those songs that everyone plays, but I had never been in a group that did it (unlike teenage kicks and all that sort of stuff). I probably should hate it but I really don't, and although we stopped doing it for a while, people complained so it came back.

Yep, i was more than impressed, especially as I had just mentioned to the person playing that I was useless with a looper, and having said that they asked if the helix was the one I was most comfortable with, pointed out I had never used it before. It even plays it backwards.

One of those was true.

Technically on the iPad on my stand, but I don't really look at it much, the singer has the set list and lyrics on his, and I tend to have the mixer up, and a synth that I use. But I do have lyrics for songs I use, although invariably I look at the singers for those too.

Took the HX (which I haven't been using much) to a friends house tonight to see what we can do with some kind of weird busking ambient / prog thing. I hadn't used the looper on this before, and I am not good with loopers, but how good is the looper on it? Answer, very good. I guess I couldn't use one before because they are all hard to use, one button doing multiple things make them useless to me. But you can start looping, go back to the patch and apply effects, and loop with effects etc.

I do - the knobs are the same on all my gigging basses. Althought the G&L doesn't have a mid, but the bass and treble are in the same place.

Pause the flow - he has stopped to tune in the middle of a song!

But surely you have to have the 2 minute pause for the guitarist to tune?

Going to bring my normal 4 way, can bring a 6 way too just in case, can always stay in the car if not needed

I can see what you mean, I had difficulty, but then maybe I don’t know as much as I should! i must admit that I am not sure why Scott is there, as it’s more like an interview than lesson. There is a lot of info there and I can see it might be difficult to translate into something useable. but I shall keep going for a bit to see if it sinks in!

I play with 3 fingers anyway. I didn't realise he did

I assumed there weren't but it seems like they were almost going out of their way to not show him! It did show he had the nametag 'steve' above his guitar!

Yeh, but I virtually never set it to anything other than flat. And never turn it off, even when I am wireless..

Ironically, for someone that only plays active preamps, I virtually never adjust the levels, so I am not that fussy on what preamp I have, they all basically work reasonably well, and there is hardly anything in them. Even the really fancy ones only have a few quid of components in them.

Thats the same one as mine, which is surviving the downsizing nicely

I was wondering if there was some contractual reason they couldn't show the guitarist, I wondered who it was then, but they refused to show him!

Well, they were designed for country, what most of that was designed for.

I like the range, but the volume is a bit of a pain when you switch to other basses, so the volume is down a bit. I often thought of just putting a divider at the beginning of the preamp to take the volume down a bit (and I never turn the active off). I do have other switching options too, I change the parallel series to give me a third, outside series.

I can guarantee that that is not the definition. In fact it is almost the opposite definition. A snowflake is literally 'someone who gets annoyed about different things than me'

Yep, decided to give it a try. Gotta be more constructive than just buying new basses!
